3 ...She coulda gone with Governor Josh Shapiro of PA - smart, reasonably likable, and lightyears more competent than Walz or Buttgieg.

But he's Jewish, and that wasn't going to make it with the Party. Bet she doesn't mention that.

4 No to Buttigieg is the Same reason she did not consider Monica Lewinsky…. She did not want the Oral Office competition.

5 Kamala spent in excess of $1.5B on her campaign in a very short time. Huge chunks of that went to political consultants. A portion of the advice she bought encouraged her settle on Tim Walz to avoid provoking the anti-gay vote. That’s like steering away from Ru Paul and settling on Boy George.

6 She’ll probably cackle all the way to 2028 until her campaign debt is put to bed then live the quiet life under the groaning supervision of lapd and chips until the next President is ushered in! Nothing to lose, she’s already been preemptively pardoned.

8 Thing is, if Petey wasn't gay, what would be the argument to vote for him?
It ain't competence and skill.

9 Harris interviewed Governors Shapiro, Walz and Senator Kelly. The story I heard was that Shapiro and Kelly wanted a Coke to sip during the interview by Walz wanted a diet Dr. Pepper.

For some unknown reason, Walz's beverage choice impressed Harris.

Also I apologize for misspelling Walz's name in the title of the post.

But her husband did?

Skid,

It was one thing that she was married to him. Getting the base to vote for him would have been another matter entirely.
